For people working at home, the issue of acquiring a practical and comfortable work area is very relevant. However, often in the store you buy what is presented in the assortment, naively believing that the tables do not differ from each other. This article is designed to break the stereotype, and teach you how to choose and acquire an attribute of a work corner that suits you individually.
Dimensions
There are some rules in force that must be taken into account when determining the size. In the case when a monitor is placed on the table, it is taken into account that the table top is about 0.8 m deep - this is the distance at which the monitor should be located. This space is enough to fit all the work accessories as well as the I/O devices of the PC itself.If a laptop is used and there is a restriction in free space, then 0.6 m is sufficient.
The optimal length on average is within 1.2 m. It is enough to fit a monitor with peripherals or a laptop, and a little space in reserve for a lamp, a table book, a mug of tea. To work with papers, furniture of about 1.5 m and more is suitable.
What tasks are straight and corner tables designed for?
So, when deciding on a design, it is important not to build on design and fashion trends. The main thing is to evaluate the practicality of a particular model. Straight or corner tables for a computer make it possible to solve these problems. Perpendicular placement - the user is positioned perpendicular to the workplace. Diagonal placement - the operator is deployed frontally to one corner of the table or room.
Let's start considering the shrinkage methods that existing table models provide us with. There are two options on which the principle of creating almost all furniture for office equipment is based:
- Corner table for office equipment with a diagonal placement of the operator.
- Straight table for office equipment with perpendicular placement of the operator.
How best to sit down at the workplace depends on the area reserved for it.
Corner computer desk - with a diagonal workspace
A qualitative feature of this kind of tables is their small dimensions. A similar model is mounted in a corner; 0.8-1 m of space is required along the walls. In addition, in the case of the presence of an extension, it is important to take into account the indentation to the nearest windows. Corner furniture does not need to provide a huge amount of space, since the placement of a person is diagonal.Therefore, for productive work, you need to clear only the diagonal space in front of the table.
The weaknesses of the corner models include their low practicality. In such tables, often, there are no additional drawers, cabinets. However, many "craftsmen" are able to construct such interior elements with additional useful volume, but, as a result, this adversely affects the comfort of work. Like it or not, a full-fledged table in the corner needs a lot of free space.
